Community Involvement

We take our responsibility to the communities where our coffee is grown seriously. But, we don’t lose sight of the fact that there are those who are less fortunate right here in Canada.

Some examples of the programs we're proud to support appear below.

Muskoka Conservancy

The foundation's mandate is to protect, conserve and nurture Muskoka's natural and cultural environment now and for future generations. We like that, and might accuse them of stealing from parts of our mission statement, were it not for the fact that they started in 1987.

The list of projects funded by the foundation is long and we invite you to visit their website to track along with the good work that they do. Examples include supporting the work of the Muskoka Heritage Trust, which holds over 1600 acres of ecologically sensitive land in trust, as well as the Muskoka Watershed Council, which champions watershed health in the region.

We love the work the Muskoka Conservancy is doing and are glad we can make a contribution.

Food Banks Canada

Food Banks Canada is the only national charitable organization dedicated to helping Canadians living with hunger. They do this by supporting a network of 10 Provincial Associations and more than 500 food banks, sharing food and funds and delivering programs and services.

We're proud to support the amazing work they do to reduce Canada's hunger.
